I created this blog to share my passion for woodturning. It includes articles I have written, links to YouTube videos of my demonstrations, demonstration handouts and links to other useful woodturning information.
I will add photos again when Google fixes their broken slideshow gadget.

I have been turning a few miniature birds for bird house ornaments. They are so cute! I think they are much improved over the expensive and hard to find minature birds I have used in the past. Here is what I am talking about. I show how to make these in part 2 of my two part series. https://youtu.be/fngoGEPRaW0
I have started mounting them on the roof instead of the perch for added interest.

This blog and my YouTube channel are about sharing my passion for woodturning. I want to provide woodturning content that will teach and inspire. I release a new video each Friday and a woodturning tip on Tuesday. I am pleased to announce that I have become an Amazon Influencer. What the heck does that mean you ask?

Well, Amazon has a new program where folks like me who have put in a lot of effort to create a successful YouTube channel and a community of like minded viewers, can actually get compensated for their efforts. Here is an example. A couple of years ago I created a video called How to Make Your Own Parting Tool. In the video I explained how I found the HSS blank I used on Amazon. Now if anyone wants to make that parting tool and buy the blank from Amazon, they can do so through my Amazon shop. I don't expect this to be a big deal as I am only going to list a limited number of woodturning products that I have used and can personally recommend. Your trust is important to me. I do not do what I do to make money! Believe me there is very little in the way of revenue for a small channel like mine. I could make far more money in less time as a part-time Walmart Greeter! But covering my hobby expenses is nice and earning a few bucks from Amazon will allow me to continue to improve the content on my channel and perhaps upgrade my camera and sound equipment.I welcome your comments and continued support.

Granddaughters are special. I love being able to make things for them. I turned a Harry Potter wand for Pepper and did not know that she planned to dress up as Harry Potter for Halloween. She loved the wand as an accessory. And she loved playing a cameo role at the end of the video I made on turning a wand.

My younger granddaughter, Poet, was going trick or treating as a police officer so I turned her a billy club. So gratifying to sea their pictures on Face Book enjoying something their grandpa made!
